Quite youthful but with 2-hours of air and a lamb shank, it really comes together. The wine is succulent and intense with super-pure and rich dark cherry/blueberry fruit combined with sizzling acidity. Despite it's power, it comes together beautifully in a taut, silky package. The finish is just loaded with Vosne-like spices and complex notes of minerals and violets. A really lifted wine with a second gear at the end. This producer's wines, which are often difficult and reduced early on, really is spot-on at least in the 2015 vintage. One of the best young Clos Vougeot's I've ever tasted. 95+

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Red and black cherry with some roasted meat. Good+ structure and balance, also slightly lighter styled. Slightly simpler than I'd expect from Grand Cru in this vintage, but wonderfully elegant.

La Paulée de SF Grand Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): Very attractive nose with big red and black fruit and exotic spice. Great lift and purity on the palate despite the richness. 93-94

Some Wines from the 2018 La Paulée Grand Tasting of 2015 Burgundy (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Red color. Soft red fruit, earth, good acidity, medium finish. Better than the Echezeaux but hardly worthy of Grand Cru status. Will somebody please clue me in as to what I am missing with these wines?
